To celebrate WPBeginner’s 10th anniversary , I shared that WPBeginner’s hosting infrastructure has received a major upgrade thanks to our web hosting partner HostGator .

Shortly after, I started receiving emails from readers asking me to share the details of how we make WPBeginner as fast as possible.

Yes, WPBeginner loads faster than most static site generators and in some cases faster than Google AMP sites.

In this article, I'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at how we made WordPress faster than static site generators and headless CMS platforms.

Speeding up WPBeginner - Behind the Scenes

Note: This article is a little more technical than what we usually publish on WPBeginner. For non-technical users, I recommend our ultimate guide on how to make WordPress faster .

Update: We no longer use the setup described in list of italy cell phone number this article. Instead, we have completely switched to Google Cloud Platform managed by SiteGround. We have the same speed results and have even achieved even faster backend performance. Read why we switched to SiteGround .

Recently, WordPress has gotten a bad reputation from “modern” developers who claim that WordPress is slow.

This statement is usually followed by a suggestion to switch to a JAMstack static site generator like GatsbyJS . Others in the enterprise world say to switch to a headless CMS like Contentful .

Several of my very successful entrepreneur friends began to ask me if this was true.

Some even started migrating to a headless CMS because they had read case studies about how others achieved huge speed gains by switching from WordPress to static site generators.
